  Warwick Turbulence Symposium:
1 September 2006

Continuing Euler, Organiser: Bob Kerr.

maths building



Just when you thought you had heard enough about turbulence, it is now time to have some follow-up meetings to take advantage of
the new insights and collaborations forged over the past year.

The objective is to coordinate efforts of several research groups in addressing whether there are, or not, singularities of the
three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations starting from smooth, finite-energy initial conditions. And what fluid interactions
and structures are associated with the different dynamical possibilities. The problem is closely related to the Clay Foundation prize on
the Navier-Stokes equation.

Schedule:

10 AM: Congregate in the Common Room for planning meeting
on methodology for studying Euler.
R Kerr (Warwick), Pumir (Nice), Brachet (ENS/Paris) and
Bustamante (new Warwick post-doc)

12:00: lunch

Published two papers: Couette system (JFM 2001)
and High-symmetric flow, FDR 2006.

2:00: Robert Kerr, Warwick, Computation Euler History, see
